    Title: Hadamard matrices and their applications in cryptography Author: Jan Luber Department: Department of Algebra Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Aleš Drápal, CSc., DSc., Department of Algebra Abstract: This thesis takes interest in Hadamard matrices, their constructions and application in cryptography. Firstly, we introduce basic properties of Hadamard matrices and selected summary of classical constructions is presented. Then we show a table of constructions that can be used to construct Hadamard matrix of given order. In the next part, we get concerned with Hadamard matrices with circulant cores with detailed description of construction Hadamard matrices with two circulant cores from GL-pair. In the end, we present cryptosystem using Hadamard matrices, we show its essential weaknesses and simple attacks. We propose several improvements in the form of adding other security elements. Keywords: Hadamard matrix, Hadamard conjecture, symmetric cryptograph

    Title: Even triangulations and commutative groups Author: Jan Luber Department: Department of Algebra Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Aleš Drápal, CSc., DSc. Abstract: This thesis takes interest in latin bitrades and triangulations construc- ted from them. Firstly, we introduce needed definitions, properties of the latin bitrades, detailed construction of the triangulation and mainly possibility of em- bedding latin bitrades into abelian groups. These groups are determined by the relations definied on vertices of the triangulation. Then we get concerned with a particular kind of 3-homogeneous latin bitrades which correspond to toroidal tri- angulation whose each vertex has degree six. For these groups we express relation matrix and complement to their torsion ranks. In case of simple triangulations we present explicit description of the groups and with modular arithmetic we get partial description even for more complex triangulations. Keywords: latin bitrade, eulerian triangulation, abelian grou

    No full text
    This creative project is a treatise on a leading personality of Czechoslovakian musical life, the composer, Jan Kapr. The author discusses the following:1. The complicated development of Kapr's career and work, 2. Kapr's method of organization of musical material in a composition, as described in his book Constants,3. His former and current style which is demonstrated in two of his compositions, Concert Variations, for flute and string orchestra and Testimonies for four solo instruments,4. Two of his recent works, Exercises for Gydli and the Symphony No. 7, Country of Childhood.Thesis (M.A.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.

    No full text
    Author Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles. Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film

    Anglická anotace The theological work of Jan Valerian Jirsík Jan Hamberger This thesis deals with the theological work of the Czech 19th century author Jan Valerián Jirsík (1798-1883). Its first part consists of an introduction into the Czech historical context of the 19th century and the life of the author. Its second part presents a survey of the literary-theological work of Jirsík in three life phases: the first phase is demarked by his activity as chaplain and vicar, the second phase by his editorial activity for Casopis pro katolické duchovenstvo (trans. Magazine for catholic clergy) and the last phase by his pontifical years in the diocese of Southern Bohemia. His literary work is divided by theme into various periods, shortly described and characterized. The last and major section of this thesis deals with the most comprehensive and renown work of Jan Valerián Jirsík - Populární dogmatika (trans. Popular doctrine). This pivotal work of theologian Jirsík is discussed at large and analyzed by tractate, both apologetic and dogmatic. The conclusion expresses the prevailing character of the entire work of Jirsík and its significance. Key words: Theology Apologetic theology Dogmatic theology Theological literature Catholic Churc

    Actor Profile of Jan Vondracek

    No full text
    Divided into seven chapters, the work treats seven roles of the Czech actor Jan Vondracek (born in 1966) in Divadlo v Dlouhe Theatre from 1997-2008. The author starts from the analysis of Vondracek's performances and describes the specifics of his showmanship and generalizes the personality traits of his characters. She also ponders the meaning of Czech dramatic art based on typical characters in the context of contemporary Czech theatre
